Some days start out really foggy. Actually, sometimes the fog lingers
until well after noon and it gives backlit life an almost black and white feel... What you are seeing here is the view from the
north wing of the palace across the honour courtyard towards Saint-Louis cathedral (yes, that'd be
the dome there approximately in the middle). These photos have been taken from more or less the same spot as this one had.
Certains jours commencent bien embrumés et parfois la brume ne finit par se lever qu'à l'heure du déjeuner, donnant à la vie à contre-jour un petit air de noir et blanc... Ce que vous voyez ici, c'est la vue depuis l'aile des ministres du château sur la cour d'honneur vers la cathédrale Saint-Louis. Ces photos ont été prises quasiment du même endroit que ne l'avait été celle-ci.

VDP loves the pattern of the cobblestones of the honour courtyard!
VDP adore les mouvements des pavés de la cour d'honneur !

These shots certainly have a timeless feel to them!
You know how much I love monochromatic, the fog really accentuates that mood.
The fog makes for some beautiful pictures.
I can almost hear the clatter of horses' hooves and carriage wheels against cobblestones now.
There is a sense of mystery and secrecy round these walkers. Lovely scenes.
I love the mood of these photos. The first one is my favorite.
Nothing like a little fog for atmosphere, love the first one
Fog does add mystery!
Wow that is some dramatic fog - makes everything feel a bit olde worldy and atmospheric
The difference between the seasonal colours is quite dramatic Ciel.. Both are totally super fab!
What interests me most is the presence of so many people in the gloom. Fog photos usually have few or no people. There is a nice tension here.
I love photographing with fog but, we don't see it all that often here. These shots have a great atmosphere about them.
Well, if you had entered these in a gloom and doom contest, you'd have won handily. Yikes! Looks cold, too. Very dramatic stuff, Ciel!
Everything is more fascinating with he fog...
Brrrrrr!
I really like how you've captured the sky and distant buildings in the 1st one. The foreground's not bad either.
The cobble stones in that huge courtyard provide a great texture for your photo. The people provide scale, and the fog gives a somber mood. Fine series.
Wonderfully moody, Ciel!
Wonderful shots! Love the atmosphere...
